A rebellion of a' very serious description, lately broke out in the frontier of the Niztan's doniittions. The rebels took possession of a strong pass in the mountains, between Bedero.and the South Bank of the Maniera River, after havi ng l a id p art o f t h e Be der's Country under contribution. A strong detach ment, of the Nizam's regular troops marched to dis lodge them, but, with the assistance of two old field pieces, the insurgents gave the former 'so warm a reception, that they were obliged to reheat with the loss of between two and three hundred Men. Hay, ing received some reinforcements, they again ad vanCeel to the attack, under the command of Colonel Montresor, and siteceeCl,..td in effeCtually routing th e ,enemy, and pursuing hun to the banks of the River, in attempting to cross which numbers of men and horses were drowned. The remainder, favoured, by the approach of night, took refuge in the •Listern bills,-at the defiles of which .several detalmtents of native troops have been stationed to watch their mo tions, and cbt off their resources. The Nizarn has suddenly returned - to Hyderabad fro►n Arungabad, where lie went o►► account of the excellency of its " air and water, in consequence of some Mahratta freebooters having appeared in the neighbourhood. ' . The Seik troops in Lahore have dispersed, in con sequence of disputes and conflitts respeeting the division of the plunder they made in the last carp- paigq. - Letters. have been received from eblombo, by which it appears, that a fire had broken out at a vil lage belonging to the Adigar of the Raygatu Cole, which had destroyed an areka-nut and paddy, his property, to a very 'considerabiearnbunt. Apprehen sions were entertained that the:stbres were wilfully set on fire s , the Adigar having recently, rendered him self very unpopular.. We are sorry to learn by the last accounts, that a number of native VessylS have been wrecked in the late storm on the Coromandel coast, and hardly any of their crews have been saved.

ThorhaslifacldeV was indiaecl•for obstruaing Geo. Clarke, an Excise Of in the exercise of his duty, and - violently beating and wounding him. The Prisoner had been at large on bad, but not ap pearing to stand his .trialat the April-Sessions, 1801, his recognizance had been ,entreated. He now sur rendered iltia:seit, in older to stand his trial for the 'said offence. • George Clark being sworn, stated, he is an Officer of Excise ; he was stationed, in the year 1797, near -Maidstone, jn•lcent on the 6th of November, in that year, he was standing at his;door: at the 'road side, about the hour of ten o'clock at hight.;.he saw a-eart driven by a man in it, and the Prisoner at the Bar on horseback behind it ; suspecting they were smugglers, he immediately took his horse and fol, lowed them.. He .soon overtook them, and asked the Prisoner what was in the cart ? who answered, it was no concern of his. The cart had the appearance of containing packages of tobacco; He attempted - to stop the cart, mid called to the tuanin it.for that purr pose, -whO made him no answer, but drove on,; he then threatened to fire, which he accordingly did - at the horse in the cart ; he then attempted to. feel - what was in the cart, when the man init called out to the Prisoner, " Nov at him-!" The Prisotrer immedi?- - ately rode up, and struck him over the head with a bludgeon, which knocked off his hat, and cut blot severely. The Prisoner continued to follow. •him, upon which he took out his other pistol and threat ened to shoot him ; he accordingly fired at the Pri soner's horse, -who immediately rode up and attacked • him with his bludgeon,. and - he defended himself with his hanger The Prisoner struck his horse un der. the ear, and k noc k e d hi m - down, by Which he was brought to the ground. They immediately se cured his hanger and pi st ol s , an d t i e d hi m as', he lay on the ground ; the man who had 'been in the cart stooped dawn and• looked at his face, and then struck him a violent blow with his bludgeon across the forehead, and cut him severely he then got into the cart again, and drove baCk the way they bad come. It was a very bright moon-light night, arid he could see them distinctly- while they conversed together : his head was cut in four different places, and bled very-freely. The Prisoner then came up, Untied hiM, and gave him back his arms. 84.-. then - got up and went to the house of one Haundorf dose by, with the assistance of who-e wife he washed his wounds, and had his head bound up. The Pri ioner had accOruhanied him to Hatindon's, and offer ed.half-a-guinea for his, horse, he having got 1064, and Haundon went in search of hits. He was More than lialt'an hour in the. room with the Prisoner, had sufficient time to ex'amine his person, and had no doubt whatever of the Prisoner at the Bar being the man. Who interrupted and wound e d hi m . Whi le li e was in the house, hearing a horse's foot, he hallooed out, - and a Mr.. JoneS, a fanner in the neighbohr-, • hood, who was riding' by, came in. The PrisOhk.r • told Jones that the Prosecutor had wanted' to rob him; upon which he detailed to him the whole circumstance : when Jones said he ought to be se cured, and asked him his name and address, both of which he gave faisely.---The Prisoner went away, and he saw no more. of hint at t:;at time : the next place he saw him was at Hythe Fair. The Prose cutor, Hauhdon and wife, and A _ones.,attended both at prefening the bill of indiatmeht, and also at the time the trial should have come on, but the Prisoner did not appear. The Witnesses are all Since 'dead ; Jones, the last of them, • died in April last. He, saw the Prisoner . afterw ar d s on t h e LOt h or Itt h o f December following, at Hythe Fair; he did .not doubt his being the same ; he did -not then scene's him, but learned his name, and who he was.' Upon his cross-examination, he admitted he, had fired before they touched, him, and that no conver sation, took place till after the Prisoner had taken care _ of him to the house of Haundon. Mr. CO.N.ST, on behalt . o f the Prisoner,. addressed the Jury, 'observing, that from the nature of the case laid before them, - it Was jrnposiible he could call any Witness, and contended, that, by the Pro secutor's own testimony, the Prisoner might well be warranted in supposing he was attacked by a robber, the, more so as when he sal.v.who it he had taken care of him, acid returned his arms. With regard to his not standing !iis triai, the fad was, he had been engaged in smuggling, and ori that account had quitted the country, but upon his Majesty's Proclamation for pardon to such description or per suns, he had returned. The Learned Judge (Lord ELLENBOROUGH) reca pitulated the evidence to the Jury, who fouud the Prisou►er Guilty.

Poplett slipped away from them; as they went 'towards the • public-house, where she and, BrOwne had a quartern of gin —the latter drank the first glass, and then also disappeared. Upon her return home, she found the door lying open, and" the several articles mentioned in the indictment car ried oti, none of which she has since discovered. Anne M'Kay, living in the same alley, was stand ing at her door, about ten minutes after seven the• above evening; site saw tWO.men come from the Prosecutor's house, one of them with a large bundle on his head ; she had an opportunity of seeing 'hell: faces, and had au doubt or their being-the Prisoners at the bar. Susannah Adley lives in Sugar-loaf-alley, White chapei, in which Browne aiso, resided. On the ingot of the same day, about eight o'clock, she saw Browne run up the alley, and heard him cry out " Make haste•-•-its all clear I" and immedlitely a tivm came out of Browne's house, with a large bun,' dle on his back, with which they went or towards Whitechapel.
